Quantum leap, Model Context Protocol, CoreWeave IPO and an AI voice companion

from this technology. Then, veteran experts Chris Hay and Volkmar Uhlig
hash out some other news in AI this week. We cover Anthropic’s Model
Context Protocol, CoreWeave filing for an IPO and Sesame AI’s new voice
companion. All that and more on today’s Mixture of Experts!
